Hot Black Top
I loved my own reflection
And the sound of my own voice
Full of dreams and wild convictions
Being brave the only choice
Ohio's missing mountains
Great lake don't smell like the sea
I knew only of adventures
started walking to get free
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
It's an uncomfortable silence
Sitting with yourself
So I laced up fresh nikes
Picked up the pace headed somewhere else
When i got tired of running
I rode a horse I used to know
She needed grain i was out of money
So I let that old mare go
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Now i'm standing out in the desert
Your love sweet eastern sunrise
All was soft around the edges
Painted in a golden light
But the day it grew much hotter
Ran out of shade and you intensify
I sweat out all that mattered
I had no tears left to cry
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Hot black top
So i could wander for some shelter
But i think i'll just rest here
Lie among the Cactus flowers
beautiful pain the living share
I hope that death comes quickly
I don't want to linger on
Maybe i'll go singing
I've always loved those old folk songs
About the girl from flat ohio
That place that never felt like home
She was always after something better
Something better takes way too long
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Hot black top
And the sound of my own voice
Full of dreams and wild convictions
Being brave the only choice
Ohio's missing mountains
Great lake don't smell like the sea
I knew only of adventures
started walking to get free
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
It's an uncomfortable silence
Sitting with yourself
So I laced up fresh nikes
Picked up the pace headed somewhere else
When i got tired of running
I rode a horse I used to know
She needed grain i was out of money
So I let that old mare go
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Now i'm standing out in the desert
Your love sweet eastern sunrise
All was soft around the edges
Painted in a golden light
But the day it grew much hotter
Ran out of shade and you intensify
I sweat out all that mattered
I had no tears left to cry
Was it your fault or was it mine
I'll take the blame now or I'll die trying
You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Hot black top

You were a mirror I was a mirage
Wet as a river just hot black top
Hot black top
